About the event

Will Varley
Will Varley returns with his 7th album, ‘Machines Will Never Learn To Make Mistakes Like Me’, to be released 30th May 2025 on MNRK Music Group, home to the likes of The Lumineers, Gregory Alan Isakov & Shakey Graves.

To celebrate, Will has announced even more UK dates to add to his World Tour incl. a London headline date at Dalston’s EartH Theatre and eleven other shows at the UK’s very best independent venues.

Inspired by his natural habitats of the East Kent Coast and the US Midwest, these songs are rich, lyrical tales that speak of hard touring, relationships on the rocks and the rebuilding of minds. Featuring some very special guest appearances including Billy Bragg, Eleni Drake & Bastille’s Dan Smith, the album continues Varley’s decade long exploration of the human condition, this time focusing on society’s ever-present threat of impending apocalypse, how we marry this with the mundane and the minutiae of our everyday lives and how we can find hope.

Produced at his ramshackle studio deep in the Kent swamps, alongside long-time friend and collaborator Tom Farrer, the album’s pallet marks a significant change in musicality, bringing a rich and luscious production to many of the songs and bringing Varley’s lyrical landscapes to life in full colour.

“I wrote these songs in empty dive bars and hospital waiting rooms. I wrote them while sitting in maternity wards, hotel lobbies, motorway service stations and broken down tour buses in the dead of night. This is an album about trying to be a hundred different people at the same time. About the fires you remember when you are alone in the early hours. About the dreams you had once and never thought you’d forget. About trying to raise children while the world is ending outside. About end times and new beginnings.

This is an album about hope, desperation and survival. Love and dependency. The things we do not know, the lives we do not live, and trying to find peace in whatever is left.”

Age restriction: 14+ / 14 - 16s accompanied by an adult
